Day 1- Ronaldo
Day 2- Hazard/KDB

Went for Sanches .. tempted to stick after last week where I ended up ditching 12 CS points and ending up on Dier's double 0!

Day 1 - Nani

5 points was good but I'll probably twist.

Day 2 - De Bruyne
Day 3 - Hector if fit, maybe Giaccherini if not
Day 4 - Payet or Griezmann

Hazard or KDB is a bit of a headscratcher. The slight doubt over Hazard nudges me towards De Bruyne, but then the game is in Lille where Hazard made his name..

5 points was good but...
after having been burnt by twisting Bale's 5p only to end onto Payet, and finally doubling Dier's 0p,
I'm wary to repeat the same mistake :?

options

Day 2 - Bale/Lukaku, KDB,Ramsey (not Taylor nor Hennesssey)
Day 3 - Hummels/Giaccherini
Day 4 - Payet, Lloris, Koscielny

of course I hope some will get better than 5p, but if I pick the wrong one today, I'm afraid there's a bigger risk in the last two matches to lose C pts rather than gaining them

I'm sticking with Nani. Someone might get 6 or 7, but I think I'm more likely to get another 0. :lol:

Going with Ginger Kev tonight. Coin toss really between him and Hazard, but De Bruyne was my instinct.

Was going to go for Meunier but I don't fancy a clean sheet with that defence so KDB for me too.

...soooo .... I was convinced to stick with Nani 5p, but looking indeed at Belgium defence without Vermaelen and Vertonghen, shouldn't that be a reason to captain Bale? (or Ramsey) :?

I still fancy Belgium to win but I think they'll need to score at least twice to do so. I would twist with 5pts, especially if you have a good French option for day4.

as per few posts above:

Day 2 - Bale/Lukaku, KDB,Ramsey (not Taylor nor Hennesssey)
Day 3 - Hummels/Giaccherini
Day 4 - Payet, Lloris, Koscielny

following that reasoning in Rof16, I ended "doubling" Dier's 0p

After playing UFPL last season(slightly different but similar principles), I think the odds are in favour of a good player scoring more than an assist if you have four chances. If you end up with a 5 pointer tonight then I probably would be more on the fence regarding twisting but you gave options and chances. 5 points is safe but play the game your way. Fortune favours the brave in my opinion.

Yeah despite also moving from Bale (5) to Dier (0) last week, I'd definitely twist on 5 with 3 games to go.

I fancy Hazard tonight, brilliant last week and playing at his old home ground.

Definitely have more interest in Wales getting through than fantasy tonight though. Guess some English on here probably feel differently after the video (can't really blame them), but as a Scot I'm 100% behind them.

Can a mod please delete my later posts? Yes, you should captain Ramsey.

Hazard's assist not enough with half my team failing so far. On to Gomez I guess.

I don't think any of the top 10 have Muller so he'll be my cappy tomorrow I think.

Day 1 - Nani, 5. I can do better.
Day 2 - De Bruyne, 2. Oh dear.
Day 3 - Giaccherini, 1. Oh dear! :oops:

Help me, Dimitri Payet. You're my only hope.

If Llotis, then better Koscielny
Should France keep CS they'd both do. Ok saves, sub or booking chances, minor differences, but Koscielny adds scoring chances on corners

So it's Payet vs Koscielny for me

Higher the chances French keep CS,
or Dimitri to find scoring ways again?

BTW, shouldn't have fortune favoured the brave?

Wasn't Bale braver than KDB?
Wasn't Giac braver than a german?

I should've learned better and stuck with Nani
